Armando Galarraga

Armando Galarraga of the Tigers, who is filling in for Bonderman, earned his 5th win of the season by defeating the Indians with 5.2IP, 4H's, 2ER's, 2BB's, and 4K's. Since Bonderman is likely out for the season, Galarraga will be tossing more innings in the upcoming future.

Owners, this is a good pick-up to add to your pitching staff as a 4th-5th starter. If he does poorly drop him but for now you should ride his fine pitching.

2008 stats - 58.1IP, 24ER's, 26BB's, 39K's, and a 3.70ERA.

Willis and Galarraga

Dontrelle Willis of the Tigers will return from the DL and move into the bullpen to get his control back in order before heading to the starting rotation. Armando Galarraga will continue in his role as a starter.

This isn't huge news since Willis shouldn't be found on any rosters but with Galarraga holding his own on the mound this season (3-1, 35.1IP, 14BB, 24K, and 3.06ERA) he's worth a spot on rosters.
